Hampton Roads Military Bases Swarmed By Drones
by Kerry Dougherty It’s not clear why we are just now learning that dozens of drones buzzed local military installations night after night for more than two weeks last December. Neither is it clear why military brass just stood there, sucking their thumbs and staring at the sky, while these airborne spy machines made repeated…

FEMA To Helene Victims: Tough Luck. We’re Broke.
by Kerry Dougherty Perhaps you heard. FEMA – the Federal Emergency Management Agency – is broke. That’s right. Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas stood up this week and figuratively turned his pockets inside out, showing nothing but lint. You see, while you weren’t looking Joe Biden and Kamala Harris quietly transformed FEMA into a giant…

Stealing From the Poor
by Kerry Dougherty There’s a special place in Hell for those who steal from the poor. That’s what happened this week when thieves broke into a Habitat for Humanity van and stole $5,000 worth of tools. Ironically, this hit the news on October 1. Former President Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday. Carter, the second worst president…

How’s Your Hurricane Box?
by Kerry Dougherty Quick. Call the cops. Seems I’ve been robbed. Yup, sometime during the past year or two a prowler must have slipped into my house and made off with my valuables. Once inside, he cleverly went past the stuff we’d miss right away, the TV, the pickleball paddles. This bandit took batteries –…

MS-13 Gang Member Welcome at Loudoun County High School
by Kerry Dougherty Lord knows, we tried to warn the good people of Loudoun County. We told them that Aaron Spence — formerly the Virginia Beach schools chief — was not a great hire Pity they didn’t listen. Emmy-award winning TV journalist Nick Minock is now reporting that Loudoun schools will allow a student to…

Louise Lucas, Do Better.
by Kerry Dougherty Virginia, I give you Louise Lucas, your President Pro Tempore of the State Senate: Such eloquence! Such a command of the English language! Positively pithy! Doesn’t she make you proud? Consider: this is an 80-year-old grandmother. The boss of Portsmouth’s Democrat political machine. A former shipyard worker turned politician who hasn’t lost…

Bravo For Sweet Briar College!
by Kerry Dougherty Well done, Vixens! Officials said they made the move to comply with recent changes to the Common Application, used by more than 1,000 higher ed institutions, which now lists four legal gender options. That change, Sweet Briar’s leaders said in a message to the campus community, “presents a challenge both for students…

Danger In Newport News Schools
by Kerry Dougherty Another school year. Another horror story out of Newport News Public Schools. This one didn’t have a tragic ending. Thank God. In September of 2021 two students were shot in the hallways of Heritage High School by a miscreant who was attending school in a court-ordered ankle bracelet. In January of 2022,…

Your Daily Illegal
by Kerry Dougherty Chances are until this week you’d never heard of Melody Waldecker. She’s the 54-year-old mother of four and grandmother of eight who was run over and killed Sunday morning in Sterling, Va. by a carjacker. His name? Jose Aguilar-Martinez, 21. He’s from El Salvador. In the country illegally. Thanks to failed border…

Protecting Trump From Assassins, Virginia-Style
Mike Imprevento is not only my partner on “The Kerry and Mike” talk radio show (9 to 10 every weekday!) but a successful attorney and until recently, a Captain and Staff Attorney for the Norfolk’s Sheriff’s Office. It was in his latter capacity that he was part of the law enforcement team that protected Donald…

Stopping Sticky-Fingered Shoppers
by Kerry Dougherty This is not a column about bras. It’s about one more sign of the fall of civilization. It starts with a bra, though. A simple, white, inexpensive sports bra. I was in desperate need of a new one and I’m never going to splurge $68 at Lululemon for a swatch of Spandex…

Democratic Dumpster Fires
by Kerry Dougherty Words matter. And here’s one handy litmus test – if any are needed – to unmask news outlets that are in the bag for the left. It’s the use of the verb “pounce” to describe conservatives reacting to any Democrat act. Here’s an example from our local newspaper: Buckle up, I’m going…

Meteorologists Hype the Weather. It’s What They Do Best.
by Kerry Dougherty There was a time when I was fluent in Celsius. Today I have to turn to Google to translate. But back in the summer of either 1982 or 1983 I remember a headline in The Irish Press that was something like this: “Dublin Sizzles In 22-Degree Heat.” I was living in Ireland’s…

Careful There, Dems, These Are Your Voters
by Kerry Dougherty I’m not in the habit of offering political advice to Democrats, but they might want to consider toning down the “convicted felon” rhetoric. Ever since Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony charges in New York, the left has become a Greek chorus, chanting “convicted felon” every time they mention his name.…

Virginia Untethered From California’s Nutty EV Regs
by Kerry Dougherty Well, God bless Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares . On Wednesday the dynamic duo announced that they’d found a way to undo some of the damage done by the commonwealth’s Democrats when these far-left lawmakers hooked Virginia’s wagon to California’s. You can read the attorney general’s advisory opinion…
